>Greetings all,
> I open an instance of Word 2000, and activate a document. The Word session stays open until closed. I then do the same event, which first does a getobject, to test whether Word is open, and then open the second document.

>Code:
> On Error GoTo Start_Word
> Set objWord = GetObject(, "Word.Application")
> boolWordOpen = True

>Start_Word:

> If boolWordOpen = False Then
> boolWordOpen = True
> Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
> End If
> cThisFile = clsProXtrnal.FormPath & cViewFile
> With objWord
> .Visible = True
> .Documents.Open (cThisFile)
> End With
>Problem is it ALWAYS opens another instance of Word. I need Word to open a second document, not another instance. I did not have this problem with Word 97. Any help is appreciated.

Open Word 2000 or (Excel or Access) and open more than one document in this application. You will see one instance for each document on the task bar. It is a O2K feature.
